Chapter 73: The Princess Has Recognized Your Niu Niu (-)

Princess Melissa has been in the Babel City for such a long time, but Chu Yan has never met or talked with her. On the one hand, Chu Yan's outings are very limited, sometimes he doesn't go out for ten days or half a month. On the other hand, Princess Melissa doesn't go out often either.

The biggest interaction recently was when the little white-haired maid helped wash my coat.

At present, the two bishops' confidants have left, but Mei

545

Princess Lisa didn't want to turn back right away, so she sat down and chatted with the owner of the place.

Chu Yan asked: "Princess Melissa, you have been here at the Tower of Babel for so long, is there anything special?"

The current ruler of the Thunder Kingdom sat opposite Chu Yan. Her hair was neatly tied up with one side slightly curled. She wore a queen's crown made of crystal and mithril on her head, looking extremely noble.

Compared to the pure white style she wore in Paradise City, her court dress now retains the elegant traditional design but has some dark colors tied in front, making her look graceful and steady. She is no longer a princess who plays the role of a vase.

The hem of her skirt should be a front-opening style, and one should be able to see her straight beautiful legs from the front, but now there is an extra layer of gray gauze, and the pair of jade legs in white silk with lace patterns are faintly visible behind the gray gauze. The only thing that can be seen clearly are the two high-heeled shoes sticking out from under the skirt.

Princess Melissa's attitude was calm. She opened her lips with bright red lip gloss and said:

"At this point in time, just arriving at the Tower of Babel and understanding the situation here is considered a special event. Staying in the Thunder Kingdom is just waiting for news."

Those who haven't shown up yet are the ones who are ridiculously careless. Princess Melissa's reaction is indeed very normal... Chu Yan nodded slightly and smiled again:

"Then Princess Melissa's expectations have been dashed. She has been here for quite a while, but there have been many bad news and few good news. The whereabouts of the 'door' seem to be even more uncertain."

"A little bit? But I also saw a lot of things that made me applaud and admire."

Chu Yan wondered, could it be that something major happened during his coma... He asked:

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, isn't the Colosseum a commendable move? Lord Chu Yan always does such unexpected things."

"......" Chu Yan was speechless for a moment.

On the surface now, Chu Yan did make an appearance in the Rat Gang incident, but he disappeared again afterwards.

For example, the recent plans for the Colosseum were all carried out openly by Sister Josephine. Chu Yan no longer appeared in the public eye. He occasionally went to a few Colosseums to inspect the conditions, but those were all "incognito visits" and were not publicized.

Many people don’t know that this matter is related to Chu Yan.

He did not deny it, but blinked and asked curiously: "Why does Princess Melissa think this matter has something to do with me?"

The noble and beautiful widow princess calmly explained:

"If it were just the Adventurer's Guild or the Church, they would never be able to come up with such a strange and bizarre policy. The Church, for example, previously exchanging exploration contributions for Gospel Tickets was the only plan they could come up with, and the Adventurer's Guild rarely launched similar activities.

Lord Chu Yan should know that I have been to Paradise City, right? "

This question is really a bit sensitive...

If I say I don’t know, it would seem a bit deliberate.

Chu Yan nodded and said calmly, "I heard about it from the head nun. What's wrong?"

"After I came into contact with Paradise City that time, I was surprised by the changes there, so I inquired about a lot of information.

I discovered that the border exile city had undergone such a big change because a dragon lord stayed there for a while and implemented many strange but effective...even efficient policies. "

Princess Melissa placed her hands steadily on her thighs, wearing silk lace hollow patterned hand socks on her slender hands, and her demeanor was dignified. She continued:

"From this, I can more or less feel Lord Chu Yan's style of doing things. He doesn't follow the usual path, but he always achieves his goals. Just like the arena this time, who would have thought that a casino could be used in this way?"

Knight Daiwen, who was waiting nearby, echoed this and said:

"At first, I didn't understand the purpose of this arena, nor did I understand why it was so popular among adventurers. It was only after Princess Melissa explained its ingenious purpose that I finally understood it!"

Although Daven is a royal guard, her perspective on things is actually similar to that of an ordinary adventurer. Her view on the arena is more of confusion, and then she becomes addicted to it and cannot extricate herself.

It’s just that her strength is too strong, so she was “banned”. After trying it a few times, she could only be a spectator. But when she thinks about it herself, she still feels confused.

What is the purpose of this event jointly launched by the Church and the Adventurer's Guild, and why has it suddenly become so popular among the people?

It wasn't until Princess Melissa pointed out that the planner treated all adventurers as a resource and was using this event to enhance the overall strength of the adventurers that Daven suddenly realized.

The form of the activity itself evolved from the two oldest "violent duels" and "gambling", so it is impossible not to attract people.

And the best part is that this activity empties the money out of the adventurers' pockets, allowing them to spend their own money to improve themselves, ensuring that they can continue to work in the Tower of Babel with full enthusiasm in the future.

Moreover, most of the funds consumed by the adventurers flowed back to the guild.

Princess Melissa explained it bit by bit, and Daven realized that the design of the entire arena, from top to bottom, inside and outside the arena, was full of careful design...

546

..

No, this should be a calculation!

There is no place that is bloated or redundant. Even the "selecting temporary equipment" section in the arena can correspond to the weapon sales in the auction house.

Arrange the adventurers in a tight manner.

After realizing the ingenuity and weirdness of it, Daven was able to conclude that it could not have been the idea of ​​the Adventurer's Guild or the Church.

"Thank you for the compliment. Some parts are just lucky and just meet the needs of adventurers. Besides, aren't all five arenas forced to close now..."

Chu Yan was humble in words but ashamed in his heart.

Being praised is a good thing, but it also shows that after Princess Melissa returned from Paradise City, she had thoroughly investigated him and could even see his policy style at a glance.

After chiseling the princess through the wall once, how long had she been studying this...

However, after thinking this through, Princess Melissa seems to be able to conclude that he was the one that night.

This is like a question that will be solved within a limited time. The fact that the taboo person around Chu Yan has been able to maintain this stability for such a long time already explains a lot.

Princess Melissa could analyze the various ingenuities of the arena at a glance, so she would definitely be able to discover this about the taboo.

Chu Yan didn't mention this matter anymore. Since this widow princess was smart, he could just ask her for advice!

"Princess Melissa, those bishop's cronies want to open the Relic Square. What do you think?"

His change of topic was abrupt, but Princess Melissa still tolerated it and did not complain about it. She responded to his question:

“I know too little information to make a judgment, but selfishly speaking, I don’t think that is a new level of exploration area, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, what these Bishop's cronies are doing is just looking for trouble, and it is very likely to cause big trouble. I will not let Daiwen follow them."

"So, from Princess Melissa's thinking, is there any solution?"

“If I had enough power, I would have wiped out those bishops’ cronies in advance. They are doing meaningless things, and the risks far outweigh the benefits.

The Ruins Square is a place that is only suitable for those who have no other choice but to take a gamble at the last minute."

"..."

The corner of Chu Yan's mouth twitched. He began to understand the princess's thinking pattern. She was indeed calm enough.

The only value of the area below the ruins square is that after opening it, you will find a "door" directly below.

But apart from this, any other situation that occurs below will be a huge risk.

I shouldn't have created unnecessary crisis for myself at this time.

The most thorough way is to eliminate those who try to open it early and control the opening time of the Ruins Square in your own hands. This is the best option at the moment.

"But this is unrealistic. Even if we can wipe out this attack without being discovered, the bishops will not let it go. They might even send another one."

Princess Melissa did not deny it and said without hesitation: "That's true, so we can only wait to clean up the mess, there will be no other choice."

On the other side, Duranbi had already led his men to the Ruins Square.

Several clergymen came out of the church built there and confirmed the identity of the outsider. After discovering that it was Duranbi, they did not stop him.

"You, set up the cordon. No adventurers are allowed to enter here these days. This church will not accommodate any injured people for the time being."

Duranbi first gave an order and then started digging the hole.

The hole that Madam Afaline had dug earlier was not big enough for a person to crawl into, so they could only poke their head out.

Duranbi was an S-level warrior. Under the blessing of the nun who accompanied him, he quickly began to drill holes and expand the size of the holes.

After working for a long time, there was some result. The ground around it cracked, but it did not completely break.

This effect was already far beyond that of many clergymen, but Duranbi's heart was filled with amazement and solemnity.

"I spent so much effort to barely crack the floor, but the Dragonborn Aifalin was able to penetrate it with one strike?!"

Duranbi only remembered that Evelyn was A-level. Could it be that she had successfully made a breakthrough in recent years?

Why hasn't any news been released?

During the break, Duranbi began to contact his companions to confirm their progress in gathering members.

"What's the situation outside? By the time you get here, I'll be almost able to get through this floor. All I need is the manpower you can gather!"

Author's words: I will add another chapter later to make up for the W words

Chapter 72 Entering the Ruins Square (-)

The Tower of Babel is separated from the outside world by a transmission entrance, making communication for the projection ceremony difficult.

If ordinary people want to communicate with the outside world, they usually have to find a microphone at the entrance of the camp and run back and forth, which is very frustrating. However, the church has built a church in the tower as a base, and this church can also be used as a magic workshop.

Just use the enhanced version of the projection array to make communication more convenient.

Several of the bishop's confidants who were still outside the tower were ready to march into the tower. When they were suddenly asked this question by their leader Duranbi, they were all a little embarrassed to speak.

"Why are you all silent?" Duranbi frowned, feeling that there was something else behind this silence.

In the projection, Pastor Di Nenger moved his lips, smiled with a forced smile, and confessed:

We are ready here

547

After all, the potions and emergency scrolls were in place, but the manpower that was summoned was a little short of expectations. 】

"There is a little gap. How much is the gap?"

The team leader, Duranbi, looks like a young elf girl, but her temperament is not as pure as that of a girl. It was a little difficult for Di Neng to confess, and it was not until Latin, who was standing next to him, nudged him with his elbow that the pastor told him the truth.

[As for the adventure group, no elite candidates were recruited...]

"What, not even one?!" Duranbi's voice echoed in the room of the church inside the tower, with a very penetrating power.

In her plan, this operation was carried out according to the standards for dealing with king-level monsters, so naturally she would call on as many elite candidates as possible.

The baseline is B-level adventurers close to A-level. The more the better, whether they are front-line candidates or priests who provide treatment and tolerance, there will never be too many.

Given their status as the bishop's confidants, it should be easy to recruit them. It's not about recruiting them, it's just about forming a temporary team.

But I didn't expect that the adventurers would get nothing and couldn't even gather a single person!

Di Neng'er outside the tower was hesitant to speak. After the failure of recruiting, they had thought about the reasons during this period of time and discovered the truth.

——By closing down the arena, all adventurers have been offended, so naturally, it is impossible for them to respond to their recruitment.

If the top members of the Chuanda Adventure Group and the Honan Adventure Group were still there, perhaps there would be some backup candidates, but unfortunately this group of rotten apples are already dead.

Dulanbi pinched his brows and asked tiredly, "What about the nobles of the kingdom? Many nobles in the city have come, and the guards around them are all good candidates."

Di Neng Er heaved a sigh of relief. He still had some confidence: [We have recruited quite a few people in this regard...]

The names of the names were reported one after another, and there were at least 10 A-level and 17 B-level people, which is a considerable number of people!

Among the A-level players, there are two "star players". Although they have not achieved any outstanding results against monsters, they are good at dealing with people and are always victorious in various competitions. It is expected that their combat power will not be too bad.

Duranbi's face looked better. She had seen the list of the kingdom's nobles active in the city beforehand, and these were indeed the ones she liked. There were also some noble guards who had made a name for themselves but had not come to the Babel city area, so it was impossible to recruit them even if she wanted to.

"Hmm? Where's Daven from the Thunder Kingdom? I remember she and Princess Melissa are both here, right?"

[When we visited, she was said to have left and returned to her country to handle some affairs, and would not be back for a while.]

"Humph! This woman's sense of smell is really sharp. I guess Princess Melissa had already run away the day we arrived at the square, without waiting for us to find her."
